AC_CHECK_FT2 is just as much an API as freetype-config is. If that API
is to be removed, please do a mass-bug-filing for that too.

codesearch.debian.net says affected packages include:

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=AC_CHECK_FT2+path%3Aconfigure.ac
xsystem35, adonthell, pcmanx-gtk2, lcdproc, ftgl, brutalchess, fenix-plugins

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=AC_CHECK_FT2+path%3Aconfigure.in
avifile
